… Masculinity Isn’t a Sickness - WSJ.

What’s unhealthy isn’t masculinity or femininity but the demeaning of masculine men and feminine women. The first of the new APA guidelines urges psychologists “to recognize that masculinities are constructed based on social, cultural, and contextual norms,” as if biology had nothing to do with it. Another guideline explicitly scoffs at “binary notions of gender identity as tied to biology.”
It seems unwise for the APA to dissociate itself from biology. Why should  anyone continue to regard psychology as a science?
